In the United States, I’d probably name Oregon City, the famous end of the Oregon Trail and the first city founded west of the Rocky Mountains during the pioneer era. Its population is only 37,000.

      Oregon City would be my answer to ‘what’s the capital of Oregon?’

      Just a standard, since I never heard of the capital I’ll try the state name plus city guess.

    Not my country, but what immediately came to mind was one that has global name recognition, and minimal population: Chernobyl.

    It used to have around 12,000 population, but now it’s technically illegal to live nearby, and up to 150 people are estimated to live there today. It’s famous for being toxically irradiated as a result of the worst nuclear disaster in human history
